David Ishii
We can't forget Pearl Harbor, but I'm afraid that we might. At one time we had some young people from some of the schools helping us out with the ceremony, and they didn't even know what Pearl Harbor was. That's so sad.

[Her latest addition to the living room -- paper mache furniture, with mother-of-pearl inlay -- follows those guidelines. What attracted her to it?] I think that the fact that it's black and that it has like this color in it and there's painting around it, ... It just doesn't seem real, and then the fact that it's functional too.
